We are so sorry that we are unable to be there with all of you at this time. We were blessed to have had GGLou in our lives and we will cherish the memories we have of her in our minds and our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I’m so sorry for your loss of the lovely woman that was Lou.
I was very lucky in my life that I was able to be blessed with 3 Grandmothers. I cherish my memories with all of them and am deeply saddened that they have passed on. I know that GiGi Lou is watching over us and her spirit lives on in all of us. Me and my children are blessed because we were given the opportunity to love her and be loved by her.
I am holding all of you in my thoughts and my prayers. Mom was one of the most beautiful women I have ever known. I have been blessed to have her in my life for the last 26 years. I will always remember her for her loving spirit and loving heart. No matter how full her house was, she always had room in her home and her heart for ‘one more’.
I love all of you and am so sorry I cannot be there with you to celebrate Mom’s life.
I know that God has wrapped his arms around her and made her well.
Love, Gail
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Lou that long, but in the short time that I worked with her i got to know a wonderful and caring person. God Bless
My mother (Patricia (Trettel) Sowada) called me at work today letting me know of Lou’s passing.
While I didn’t know Lou in recent years, I remember going to Walt & Lou’s house in St. Cloud and our participation in Catholic Order of Forester’s when I was a child. She always had a smile on her face and was so generous – Lou always made us kids feel welcome and part of your family.
My thoughts are with your family. May God watch over Lou in heaven.
We love you and miss you “G” “G” Lu. We are thankful you are at peace and watching over our family. You touched our lives in so many special, special ways. God truly blessed this family when He gave us you. What a gift He gave. We are who we are because of you “G” “G” Lu. We love you!!
